Often we walk around wearing masks, trying to look strong
and effective, but all the while we’re detaching from emotional pain. Nobody
really knows what you are dealing with on a daily basis, because you hide it so
well. From the inside looking out, you are dying for someone to see and really
understand you.
When no one is watching you are able to reflect and validate
your own pain while tears offer relief. You embrace the reality you cannot
change despite your best efforts. You know that once the crying session has
ended, you will fall asleep and your pain-filled moment will come to an end.
And then, there is a silver lining of support. You find that
person with whom you feel safe enough to share your pain. You don't have to go
into details, because their unspoken empathy speaks volumes. And for a moment
you are safe to connect emotionally.
God puts people in your path to give you support. He knows
just what you need and is always on time. Be more observant during the day,
sometimes He uses unexpected people in our lives for His purposes.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
